Today marks the first day of the spring semester SD course. The SD site recently posted Amendment No.2 to the RFP, detailing the additional proposal criteria. The deadline for second round submissions is March 16th, so we only have 5 weeks to prepare several important materials: a triptych poster, scale model, a 500 word statement “summarizing the main features of our conceptual design.” Given our time constraint, we will have to make difficult design decisions very quickly.
Luckily, we have a very strong group of students. Many of the students who were not able to be in the J-Term courses (but who had been involved in the project from the beginning) are now in the spring course, along with several excellent additions. Also, our teachers – architect Steve Smith and engineer Wayne Nelson – are awesome.
